How was Diwali celebrated during the Mughal period?
According to historians, the festival of Diwali was celebrated in a royal style during the Mughal period. On this special festival, thousands of lamps were lit at Fatehpur Sikri and Agra Fort and were decorated like a bride. Not only this, the Rang Mahal of the Red Fort was also beautifully decorated. There were no firecrackers at that time. In such a situation, celebrations were celebrated only with the light of lamps. The lamps were hung at a height with the help of ropes and light was spread throughout the city. There was also a tradition of weighing the king with gold and silver on the festival of Diwali. After weighing the jewelery was donated. At the same time, Diwali celebration will be even more special in the era of Aurangzeb. At that time Jashn-e-Chiraga festival was celebrated. However, at that time an attempt was also made to stop the celebration of Diwali. But till today this festival is being celebrated with the same enthusiasm.
